At Branchwater Village Independent and Assisted Living, we don’t just provide care — we honor a legacy. Nestled in the heart of Boaz, Alabama, our community serves as a warm, welcoming home for seniors who have spent their lives building the very foundations of Marshall County. We believe the generations who shaped our towns, schools, churches, and families deserve to live with the dignity, comfort, and care they’ve given so freely to others.
Our Tree of Life logo symbolizes the strength, connection, and unwavering support that our residents have shown throughout their lives. Each individual who calls Branchwater home represents a branch of history — deeply rooted, yet always reaching outward with compassion and grace.
- Millie Martin, our Director and a proud native of Marshall County, has dedicated her career to ensuring local families have access to quality care for their loved ones. Her deep understanding of the community’s needs drives every decision and keeps our mission focused on family-first values.
- Emily Rucker, our Resident Service Director, has been a steady and comforting presence at Branchwater for the past 12 years. Her compassionate approach and strong ties to local families have made her a trusted figure in the lives of many who call our community home.
- Heather Pounds, our Food Service Director, brings not only culinary skill but a genuine love for serving others. Her experience in various roles across our community gives her a unique connection to our residents, and she takes pride in making every meal feel like home.
Branchwater Village isn’t just a residence — it’s a reflection of the heart of Marshall County. We’re proud to offer both independent and assisted living options that allow seniors to live life to the fullest with the support they need, when they need it. Whether it’s sharing stories over a homemade meal, participating in enriching activities, or enjoying quiet moments in the garden, life at Branchwater is all about connection, comfort, and community.
Our residents are the very fabric of our town — the parents, grandparents, teachers, veterans, and neighbors who shaped the strong, generous community we love. It is our honor and privilege to serve them, and we invite you to come see the Branchwater difference.
